If you have kids, you’ll want to make sure you set aside time for all the high-flying fun to be had at the Sky Zone Trampoline Park. Thanks to its comfortable, air-conditioned setting, this indoor attraction is a great place for the entire family to have some fun.

Autobahn Indoor Speedway & Events

If you’re visiting with older kids and adults, your time in Memphis simply must include a visit to the Autobahn Indoor Speedway for some fast-paced racing fun and high-energy games. Race cars, test your skills and compete in the arcade with family and friends.

Crystal Shrine Grotto

Nature lovers will love walking around the trails and admiring both the beautiful landscapes and natural features of the Grotto as well as the breath-taking architecture featured here as well. Many visitors enjoy photo ops and leisurely strolls along the trails and garden pathways.

Graceland

No fan of Elvis “The King” Presley’s trip to Memphis would be complete without a pilgrimage to Graceland. Buy tickets early, as they tend to sell out—especially during peak travel seasons.

After Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated here, the site was turned into the National Civil Right Museum. Remember what must never be forgotten and pay tribute to a man who changed the world for good.
